What is the difference between this and the sport tuned motor?

The standard 540 (silver), the Torque Tuned and the Sport Tuned motors all have 27 turns. However they have very different end bell timing. For this reason Tamiya claims them to be respectively 27t, 25t and 23t. The reality is that the Torque tuned is a 27t with a somewhat aggressive timing which makes it a lot sportier than the stock silver motors. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to fix a gearing issue? I’ve inspected everything and no errors. My car is grinding. I had 1 recent crash that started the grind

Gears must mesh together very tight in model car racing. You must check how those gears mesh and use molybdenum grease to facilitate smooth and noiseless ride. Otherwise, replace those grinder ones.

Does it fit a traxxas stampede 2wd ?

While this may work, the physical size of the motor (540) is smaller than the standard Traxxas motor (550). Also,the Traxxas is a 12 turn while the Tamiya is only a 25 turn - lacks the torque of the Traxxas.

Is this compatible with a Black Foot Truck?

Yes both the torque tuned and sport tuned motors work in the Blackfoot, I have both motors and they work great.

Nice fast motor.

Added this motor to a Tamiya Grasshopper and it delivers a lot of power compared to the standard motor. Another good upgrade from Tamiya. Does not come with a pinion gear and needs to be ordered separately.

What's not to love

Purchased a few of these for M chassis racing series. Good little brushed can motors.

Excellent.

Excellent value for money, replaced my original 15 year old motor perfectly. Even the connectors married up. Only difference from the original tamiya 540 is that it has a cool sticker on the motor body.

Good value Tamiya hi-torque motor

An excellent and good value motor. Works a treat and gives much better performance than the previous hi-torque (not branded) or the regular Tamiya motor.
